This year is going to be marking the 10th anniversary of the death of Flt Lt Jon Egging at the Air Festival, one of the Red Arrows pilots was killed when his Hawk aircraft crashed during one of the displays in Bournemouth in the year 2011 and this incident would have been really tragic if the wing walker and the pilot would have died, it seems like everyone is in the joy that they have been saved by the authorities.
Such incidents are very rare but they can still occur and someone losing their life is going to be affecting many lives and in this case and it is no brainer that is this would have happened, there would have been many disappointed people but everything has been taken care of and both of the people are safe and sound and they are being treated by the medical teams for their minor injuries.
